Vegan BBQ Pulled Pork

Who knew that jackfruit – a spiky-looking fruit thing – could be used to make a nice, hearty barbecue?

Vegan BBQ Pulled Pork

Obviously, this won’t be the exact same as pulled pork. But it does have way fewer calories, and is also way better in terms of ethics and the environment – win win win.

Ingredients

1 can young green jackfruit

1/2 cup BBQ sauce

other seasonings (liquid smoke, salt/pepper, chili powder, etc)

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Pretty self-explanatory, I hope.

2. Cook the jackfruit by adding it to a skillet with a small amount of water. Turn the heat up high, and let it cook until the jackfruit is tender and coming off in pulled-pork-like strands. It’ll take about 5 minutes. (This is healthier than sautéing it with oil.)

3. Add the BBQ sauce and seasonings, and continue cooking until you like the thickness of the BBQ sauce.

And BOOM. You’re done making some seriously guilt-free ‘cue. I love adding this into wraps, sloppy joes, or just adding some beans & rice and then calling it a day.
